Reborn As Super Heiress

The Huangs, though a military family, didn’t have any real power within the armed forces—the two elder gentlemen held no significant authority, and the remaining three sons, while in the military, had neither outstanding ranks nor abilities.

Based on the Huang family’s status, an irregular recognition banquet like this one wouldn’t normally catch the attention of Chief Lu, let alone his secretary.

Perhaps sensing the questioner’s confusion, Huang Jialin smiled and explained, ”Don’t look at me; our family doesn’t have that much influence. The Chief came for my niece.”

”Your niece?” The questioner was stunned, ”Is your niece very familiar with Chief Lu?”

Huang Jialin smiled, ”Familiar might be an overstatement, but the Lu Family is probably tripping over themselves trying to court favor with my niece right now.”

The first to curry favor with a little orphan girl without parents, power, or influence? What a joke.

The questioner listened to Huang Jialin’s words and couldn’t help but curl their lips, unconsciously feeling that Huang Jialin was bragging.

But the next second, they were completely caught off guard.

Over there, Chief Lu heard Zhou Shitao saying he wanted to take Huo Sining as his apprentice, and actually followed up by saying,

”From what you’re saying, it seems your decision to take her as a disciple hasn’t been discussed with the Huang Family yet, right? Well, that’s perfect, I’ve also been thinking about taking this child as my goddaughter. Perhaps we could go to the Huang Family and discuss this together.”

What on earth is going on? Chief Lu wants to take the Huang’s niece as his goddaughter?!

If this news hadn’t come straight from Chief Lu, it’s likely that no one present would believe it, because it was just too outrageous.

What kind of magic did this girl with no background have to make the head of the military willingly stoop to attend her recognition banquet, even eager to take her as his goddaughter?

The already surprising words of Zhou Shitao were enough to shock everyone, but now Chief Lu’s statement had truly set the room abuzz.

Suddenly, everyone’s interest was piqued. Some attendees who had initially come with a spectator’s attitude had to reassess the situation; it appeared that the young girl the Huangs recognized had some serious abilities, if she had won the protective stances of both Zhou Shitao and Chief Lu.

”I’m going, Ningning, something big has happened!”

The banquet hall was in shock. Su Qingqing, who had gone to the restroom, accidentally overheard the news from the banquet hall and immediately turned pale, running frantically to the resting room behind the banquet hall and exclaiming to Huo Sining anxiously.

”What happened?” Huo Sining was the protagonist of tonight’s banquet, and thus she was supposed to make her appearance only after the official start of the event, so for now she could only wait in the resting room.

After Su Qingqing relayed the situation in the banquet hall, Huo Sining was covered in cold sweat.

She hadn’t expected Zhou Shitao to show up, and even less did she expect Chief Lu to join him in causing such a disturbance.
